The importance of biodiversity is being more widely recognized as increasing numbers of species come under threat.

It is obvious that the
numbers
of
species
endangered have drawn the attention of ecologists, scientists and environmentalists around the world for decades. Since the growing
numbers
of
species
under threat has a huge impact on biodiversity, countermeasures for preventing the loss of more
species
should be taken seriously. Typically, the
first
step towards conserving the diverse
species
should be educating the local people about the vital role of the domestic
species
in the ecosystem. Most citizens in developing countries are nonchalant about their environment chiefly due to severe poverty and the lack of knowledge.
For instance
, in Africa, the
numbers
of Pangolin
species
are declining as there is a high demand for Pangolin meat and skin,
on the other hand
,
this
can help a local solve his financial problems by easy means.
Secondly
, there are different methods of breeding the endangered
species
administered by conservationists
such
as artificial insemination and having sperm banks for the future.
Nevertheless
, for
this
to carry out, conservationists need funds from the government or some organization body.
In particular
, there are several different endemic
species
in the Galapagos Island and they all are facing extinction
however
local government provide the budget for conserving these
species
by creating the island for tourism. To sum up, in the past, people are quite negligent about the declining
numbers
of
species
but now they start to see the vital role of biodiversity in our ecosystem. Hopefully, in the
next
few decades, more and more people are aware and be able to protect the
species
under pressure successfully.
